about

Don’t go dancin’ to the Darktown strutters ball

Le jeune Christopher William Stoneking veut nous faire croire qu’il est né en 1974. Personne n’est dupe, car il faut être né en 1910 pour composer et chanter le blues comme il le fait. Et il faut avoir côtoyé Robert Johnson, Skip James, ou Son House pour savoir qu’il ne faut pas aller dans les dancing malfamés d’Atlanta City. Un druide a dû lui jeter un sort...

L’air qui précède est en fait l’air de La Délaissée, un blues breton, plus précisèment une chanson de Loudéac, pays Gallo, dans laquelle une jeune fille livre son désespoir de voir partir son amant, soit-disant au régiment, avant de le voir revenir tel un Martin Guerre. Cet air nous a été livré par le grand flutiste Jean-Michel Veillon, autrement connu sous le pseudonyme du Rossignol du Menez Bré.

lyrics

You gotta laugh,
You gonna laugh real hard,
When she takes her love away,
You gonna cry,
Take a look at yourself,
There ain’t nuthin that you can say,
Don’t go dancin to the Darktown strutters ball,
Don’t go dancin to the Darktown strutters ball.
